Mini bus trip, fully explained sites and overnight accommodation with breakfast is included in the price!
Advance booking is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Day 1 (Saturday)
We leave Dublin nice and early with all the gang to explore island of Ireland. Why not try a an Irish coffee in a real Irish pub and toast the guide his health in Irish in Waterford, once home to the Vikings. Then it’s off to Cork city for some shopping, kiss the Blarney stone and stay overnight in Cork “ The Rebel City”. Practice the Cork accent with the locals, always gets a smile !
Day 2 (Sunday)
Leaving Cork behind us we make our way to Dingle (An Daingean), a beautiful fishing village found amongst the mountains of the Dingle peninsula with its colourful houses and quaint pubs. Fungie ( a friendly dolphin who came here many years ago and made Kerry his home) frequents the bay and won the hearts of many people. The famous cliff and mountain roads of Slea Head await us with amazing ocean views. Here we find the Sleeping Giant and have time to stroll along a sandy beach surrounded by cliffs as the ocean pounds all around us. Tonight we stay in the Kingdom of Kerry in Killarney, a town bursting with music and songs beside Killarney National Park and lakes. Try your luck with a Kerryman joke !
Day 3 (Monday)
An early morning stroll in Killarney National Park to Torc Waterfall is a great way to start the day with a photo stop at Ross Castle and the lakes of Killarney ( why not try the local jaunting cart ) before setting off to the Cliffs of Moher on the West Coast. The Cliffs of Moher are stunning and are Irelands most beautiful sea cliffs stretching for miles along the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Tonight we stay in a village famous for Irish Music near the cliffs in County Clare. As we say in Ireland “The Craic will be mighty “…meaning there will be great fun at the pub, where local musicians will enterain you all night long with traditional instruments and there might even be a few farmers looking for potential wives to settle down with on their mountain farms !! A night you will remember for years to come.
**Day 4 (Tuesday*)
Doolin, Lisdoonvarna, Burren Landscape, Kinvara, Galway Bay, Galway City of the Tribes, County Galway
Can you picture Irish cows grazing on the moon with the occasional Irish pub on the horizion ! That’s the Burren, an amazing stony landscape at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean which will take your breath away. Rare plants, amazing views of the Aran Islands and of course Kinvara and its ancient castle are all to be seen as we travel round Galway Bay on the way to the City of the Tribes. Hooray, today is a shopping day. Galway City is a wonderful place to relax, shop and party the evening away. Full of musicians and pubs, Galway is a student town humming with talent and small friendly streets leading to the Atlantic Ocean. Check out the amazing West of Ireland night life!
Day 5 (Wednesday)
Strand Hill, Yeats Grave, Ben Bulben, Sligo
